The sneaker features a plum-inspired colorway of Plum Eclipse, Black, Earth, Pink Oxford, and Reflective Silver. The upper is made of light mesh in deep Plum Eclipse, while soft suede overlays in Pink Oxford provide gentle contrast. A plastic panel with stripe designs sits behind the Swoosh and helps the shoe keep its shape. The sneaker also houses a honeycomb-like plastic panel wrapping around the heel that adds additional texture as well as structure. Our experts love the shoe’s reflective detailing. Reflective Silver shoots up the overlays, covers the Swoosh, adds pops of light to the laces, and shines from behind the mesh upper. The women’s size Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Plum Eclipse was released on November 6th, 2023, and retailed at $160. Closure: lacing. Toe type: round toe.
The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 'Plum Eclipse' is a performance running sneaker crafted for individuals seeking advanced cushioning, stability, and a distinct, layered aesthetic. While providing robust support and unique style for both athletic endeavors and daily wear, its intricate design featuring multiple materials and textures requires mindful care to maintain its premium appearance.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Nike Zoom Vomero 5 models generally run true to size for women. We recommend ordering your usual UK women's shoe size for the best fit (UK 6.5 in this case).
Can I use these for long-distance running?
Yes, the Nike Zoom Vomero series is designed as a performance running shoe, offering excellent cushioning and support suitable for daily training and long-distance runs.
How do I clean the different materials on this shoe?
For the mesh, use mild soap and water with a soft brush. For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Do the reflective elements really work?
Yes, the Reflective Silver accents are specifically designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions by reflecting light sources like car headlights, improving safety during evening or early morning runs.
Is the 'Plum Eclipse' colorway prone to showing dirt?
While darker colors generally show less dirt than very light ones, the multi-material construction (especially the lighter Pink Oxford suede areas) may require regular cleaning to maintain its pristine appearance.
What kind of support do these shoes provide?
The Zoom Vomero 5 offers a balanced blend of cushioning for impact absorption and structural support, particularly around the heel and midfoot, making it comfortable and stable for various activities.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth and follow product instructions.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Try different lacing techniques (e.g., skip eyelets for pressure points, use a runner's knot for heel lock) to customize the fit. Ensure you have the correct UK size 6.5.
Unpleasant odor inside the shoes
Remove insoles and allow the shoes to air out thoroughly after each use. You can also use shoe deodorizers, baking soda packets, or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Loss of reflectivity
Ensure the reflective silver areas are clean; dirt and grime can obscure their reflective properties. Gently wipe with a damp cloth if needed. Note that reflectivity is most apparent in direct light.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by a loose insole or friction between materials. Try re-seating the insole or applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction.

Care
Cleaning the Upper (Mesh): Gently wipe light mesh areas with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. For tougher dirt, use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush).
Cleaning the Upper (Suede): Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions, then brush gently.
Plastic Panels: Wipe plastic components with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials. Avoid machine washing or drying.
